Daddy

Today, on Father's Day, I wanted to take a minute to honor mine. I am lucky enough to have an amazing father! I have learned a lot from him over the years, but I have also learned not to take him for granted. I just have to thank God for giving me a Christ-centered, family oriented, loving dad.

I stopped earlier to take a few moments to reflect and remind myself what a great man he is. I'll share just a few...

- My daddy always took time to take me out, just the two of us! I remember our first movie together, The Jungle Book, eating cheese fries at Ruby Tuesdays even though he hates the place, and tagging along to watch Monday night football with his friends.

- My daddy always put us first! When I was in school, daddy always took us in the morning and made sure I had the BEST lunches! One day, we were running a bit late, but when we got to school he realized I had a small hole in my pants. He took me back home to change and back to school. I'm sure he was late that morning, but he made sure I was ok.

- My daddy always knows my favorites! For every special day, and even sometimes just because, daddy fixes chipped beef gravy! My sister and I loooove it and he always makes sure he makes it for us! He always takes the time to pick the most special cards and gifts too ... Very thoughtful.

- My daddy has always loved me! Every morning when daddy would wake me up for school, he would sing to me. On really lazy mornings, I would complain that I was too cold to get out from under the covers. He would jump onto my bed and "warm me up" until I was laughing so hard I had to get up! I still laugh thinking about it today!

Just a few of about a million reasons that my daddy is the best in the world!

Happy Father's Day, daddy! I love you!
